Sandra Bullock: Born in a Virginia suburb
of Washington, DC, to a German opera singer and a voice teacher, Sandra Bullock
grew up on the road with her parents and younger sister. She often performed in
the children's chorus of whatever production her mother was in. That singing
talent later came in handy for her role as an aspiring country singer in The
Thing Called Love (1993). Her family moved back to the Washington area when she
was a teenager. She later enrolled in E. Carolina University in North Carolina,
where she studied acting. Shortly afterward she moved to New York to pursue a
career on the stage. This led to acting in television programs and then feature
films. She gave memorable performances in Demolition Man (1993) and Wrestling
Ernest Hemingway (1993), but did not achieve the stardom that seemed inevitable
for her until her work in the smash hit Speed (1994/I). She now ranks as one of
the most popular actresses in Hollywood.
